Little Bundle Of Jack

Disclaimer: I don't own 5D's!
Summary: AU. Post-series. Five years into their relationship, Jack and Yusei share a life-changing event together the night they become engaged. Things will never be the same for Jack now. YuseixJack, side KiryuxCrow. Yaoi and mpreg in which JACK is the one knocked up for once! M for suggestive themes and for safety reasons.
Hey there everybody! I know, I have a shit-ton of other stories in progress, several of which are in this section. D: But this is an idea that's been drifting around in my mind for several months. It finally solidified a few days ago, ergo here we are with another new story from me.
I came up with the idea after I saw just how many 5D's mpreg stories there are here. Most of which I observe either Yusei or Crow are the ones knocked up. And I've always wondered what a pregnant Jack would be like.
So, I thought I would do something original. :D A different kind of mpreg story, in which Jack is the mommy!
To whomever is reading this and may read this, I hope you'll come to like this story and the lulz that will accompany it as much as I hope to. :3
So anyways, enjoy the first chappy!
This can't be happening...
Jack, nervously, paced in the bathroom with his hands folded behind his back. Pale and sweating, none the less sweating on an early winter's day, he bit his bottom lip and tried not to look at the sink counter as he waited for the timer on his cell phone to beep and vibrate.
This cannot be happening!...
Yusei Fudo, his fiance, was off visiting Aki and Carly and intended on being gone until noon. He wanted to tell them in person that he and Jack were planning on tying the knot, finally. They were even waiting on telling Kiryu and Crow, who both resided in Crash Town, until they came to visit them that weekend.
Jack remembered the day he proposed very clearly.
He had brought Yusei for a walk on the beach, where they were the only ones there, saying as the air was getting nippy and one would have to be insane to swim in the cold weather. They simply held hands and talked and laughed, and when they were back in the city and walked by a movie theater, they decided to catch a movie. After the movie was over the sun was setting and Jack suggested they grab a cup of coffee at their favorite little coffee shop, Little Cup o' Joe's.
They each ordered a decaf and Jack a scone, Yusei a blueberry bagel. As Yusei sat down and placed down his cup and pastry, Jack, with the ring case behind his back, knelt down on one knee beside Yusei's chair. With a wide smile, he grasped his long-time boyfriend's gloveless hand and rubbed his thumb over the soft skin on the back of his hand.
"Yusei," Jack began. "All my life I never thought I could be as lucky as I am now, and happy at that, to have somebody like you in my life. I know now and forever that I want to be by your side for the rest of our lives."
Yusei blinked, and as he was about to ask Jack why he was on the floor, Jack pulled out the ring case. Immediately, Yusei gasped and his eyes lit up with amazement and tears of joy and excitement.
"Yusei Fudo," Jack went on, opening the ring case. Inside was a ring with silver band, with a small, heart-shaped sapphire in the middle setting, and a smaller diamond on each side of it. "Will you marry me?"
With a wide smile and a blink to let his tears run down his cheeks, Yusei responded with, "Yes..." He wrapped his arms around Jack. "Yes!..." Jack lifted up his free hand and grasped Yusei's cheek, pulling the smaller man into a kiss.
Jack, at that moment, would not deny he was crying as well. Tears of joy; tears that knew he would be with the one he loved for the rest of his life.
His love for Yusei was no joke. It was the one thing he was always very open about.
Later that night, back home at Poppo Garage, Jack and Yusei dimmed down the lights, lit a few candles, and put on some music in their shared bedroom. With their arms around each others shoulders, they danced a slow dance around the room and smiled, staring one another in the eyes.
When Baby, It's Cold Outside came around, what they had playfully come to dub as their song, they began to sing it to one another.
"I really can't stay..." Yusei sung.
"Baby, don't hold out..." Jack responded.
"Oh, but it's cold outside..." they sung together.
At the musical interlude, Jack whispered, "Yusei?..."
Yusei locked his eyes with Jack's again. "Yes?..."
"You said yes because you want to be mine, right?"
"That's correct." Yusei responded.
"There's... something I've always wanted from you..." Jack whispered.
"What's that?" Yusei whispered, nuzzling his nose against Jack's ear.
Jack, with a small blush across the bridge of his nose, leaned in and whispered right into Yusei's ear.
Yusei was silent for a moment after Jack spoke and Jack pulled away to look him in the face. Yusei locked their eyes again and gave off a small smirk. With a soft nod, he shoved Jack backwards onto the bed as gently as could be managed.
Jack was a bit taken aback by it, but when Yusei climbed over him and straddled his waist with his knees, he leaned over the blonde with that same mischevious smirk. He placed each of his hands on either sides of Jack's head, and sung along to the last part of the song. "Get over that hold-out..."
With a smile and his amethyst eyes melting, Jack joined Yusei in the final lyric before their lips met for a kiss.
"Oh, but baby it's cooooold... ouuuuuut... siiiiiiide..."
Jack hadn't even realized how he'd stopped pacing and had closed his eyes, letting the warm, arousing feelings of the memory engulf him. Suddenly very aware of how hot he felt, he snapped his eyes open and lifted his hands up to play with one of his long bangs dangling at the side of his face. Nervously, he bit his bottom lip as he began to pace again.
It was mere moments later when his phone went off. Trying to remain calm, he dismissed the alarm and turned his attention to the plastic tests on the sink counter. With a sigh, he slipped his eyes closed.
"On the count of three..."
Nervously, still allowing his fingers to fidget with his bang, he mentally and rather slowly counted to three before he leaned over the counter and opened his eyes.
Each little oval on the plastic tests, once as purely white as the plastic they were held behind, were blue. Blue as the deepest oceans. Blue as Yusei's eyes.
Blue as if in positive.
Jack, with his eyes narrow, crossed his arms around his stomach as he felt another round of nausea setting in. "I... I can't believe it..."
He knew something had been wrong with his body the past three days. He'd woken up with the urges to vomit in the middle of the night and he would. He'd leave Yusei alone in their bed so as not to bother him or get him sick as well, and would venture downstairs. The first night he heated up a cup of ramen but then once it came out of the microwave, the smell of it made his nausea even worse. He covered it with plastic wrap and placed it in the fridge.
The second night he tried to make a cup of coffee, but immediately when he opened up the package of coffee beans to put through the coffee grinder, he cringed away from the usually tantalizing aroma and heaved, but his stomach was empty and nothing would come up.
The third night Yusei made him herbal tea. They sat awake together until the early hours of the morning. Jack relaxed and unwound when he was drinking the tea, and once again spent the day on the couch watching television while Yusei worked in the garage so as not to disturb him. He would check up on him like clockwork and kept making him more tea and toast to go with it. Every time Jack fell asleep he would wrap and tuck that blanket around him so nicely that Jack would wake up and feel like he were sleeping in a big burrito. He rather enjoyed the warmth and the feeling. It was much like being held in his little lover's arms.
The fourth night, which had been the night before, Jack knew something was wrong. He appeared to have a bit of a mild stomach flu, but Yusei was fine. They slept together every night in the same bed, albeit for a few hours until Jack would get sick, and yet Yusei was fit as a fiddle.
That morning, while in the throughs of the worst nausea he'd had that week, it hit Jack like an oncoming train.
Locked onto the blue ovals of the home tests laid out on the bathroom counter, the blonde muttered to himself, his eyes narrowed in shock. "I'm pregnant..."
Three out of three. This definitely had to be the problem.
Sinking down to sit on the toilet lid, Jack wondered aloud, "How am I ever going to tell Yusei?..."
Half past eleven, Jack was pacing in the living room, holding his white cell phone in his left hand and drumming his fingers on it with his right. With a sigh, he finally decided to flip it open and speed-dial the person he'd had on his mind. She would know what to do.
The phone rang four times before being picked up. "Hello, Mina speaking."
"Mina, thank God..." Jack sighed in relief, running his free hand through his hair.
"What? Jack? Is that you?" Mina asked, heard moving around in her background.
"No, it's Winston Churchill." Jack replied, dropping his hand to the back of his neck. "Of course it's me."
"You just caught me getting out of the shower. What's wrong?" Mina asked.
"There's..." Jack began uneasily. He gripped and rubbed the back of his neck with his hand. "There's been an unexpected incident."
"What happened?"
"I... well... you see, uh... Yusei and I... we..."
"You didn't have a fight, did you?"
"No, no no no, of course not..." Jack said, shaking his head along with his speech even though Mina could not see it. "I just... I just..." He took in a breath through his nose and let it out through his mouth. "I told you I proposed to him a few weeks ago, right?"
"And he said yes, right? He's not having second thoughts, is he?"
"No, no no, this is bigger than the whole 'we're getting hitched' picture." Jack responded, finally fed up with his own pacing and sat himself down on the couch. He pressed his knees together and with his free hand picked up a pen from the coffee table and began to drum it in his hand against the surface of the wooden piece of furniture.
"Jack, what is it? You've got me incredibly worried now..." Mina said. "Do you want me to come over so we can talk face-to-face?"
"No, Yusei's supposed to be home in time for lunch, and I... I just really need to know what I should do." Jack responded. "I just... I just have no idea how I can even begin to tell this to him."
"Jack, maybe the best thing would to be to just tell him." Mina responded. "What is it? Maybe I can help..."
Jack, silent for a moment, stopped drumming the pen in his hand. "I don't think I can tell you before I tell him..."
With a soft sigh, Mina said, "Jack, whatever it is, I'm sure he'll be very supportive and understanding. You're getting married, aren't you? And you've been together forever."
"I'd hardly call five years much of anything..." Jack responded.
"Most couples are lucky to last five days, let alone five hours." Mina responded. "You and Yusei certainly are blessed in that department. I'm sure whatever it is you've got to tell him, he'll be okay."
Jack, draping his arm across his knees, asked, "Even if it's life-changing?"
With a thoughtful pause and a small smile on her end, Mina responded with, "Yes. Even if it's life-changing. When Yusei said yes to marriage, he took all of the ups and downs it comes along with."
"Especially this one..." Jack muttered only just loud enough for Mina to hear him.
"... Jack, it isn't anything terrible, is it? Cancer or a terminal illness?..." Mina asked with a bit of worry in her tone.
"No, nothing like that..." Jack responded and heard her sigh in relief. "It's just... something a bit unexpected of us this early, especially since we're not married yet."
"Well, alright..." Mina said. "Whatever it is, once you've told him, let me know what's going on. Okay?"
Jack, silent again for a moment, staring down at his knees, drifted his eyes to his stomach, covered by his black tank top and hiding quite successfully a bit of gained weight. A little unsurely, he placed his hand over his stomach and held it there. Curling forwards into his own touch, he responded, "Okay..."
Jack fell into a light snooze after he hung up with Mina. He laid across the length of the couch, his left arm draped almost carefully across his stomach and his other hand rested up next to his face. His gentle breaths drifted in and out of his parted lips, eyelashes rested softly against his skin.
Yusei came in through the garage door and called out, "Jack, tadaima!" around quarter to one.
In a half-asleep daze, Jack awoke and slipped his eyes open. He stretched his back against the couch and sat up as Yusei appeared before him.
"Sorry I'm so late," Yusei said as he immediately went over to Jack and leaned down to cup his face in his hands. "The girls and I got a little chatty over tea..." He smiled and planted a soft kiss onto Jack's lips. "And they just loved the ring you picked out. Beautiful yet classy." He pulled away from Jack's face a bit and laid his hand on Jack's forehead. "How are you feeling? Any better?"
"Well, actually Yusei..."
"Did you throw up again?" Yusei asked, unable to hold back doting over his fiance when he's sick.
"Not since nine, but-"
"That should be a good sign, I guess." Yusei said. "Hopefully you've got it mostly out of your system."
"Yusei, I'm not sick."
Yusei quieted for a moment. His eyebrows went up, his eyes narrowed in worry, and when his mouth gave a little quiver, he asked, "What?..."
Jack, with a sigh, hung his head and took Yusei's hands into his. "Yusei, sit down..."
Yusei sat at Jack's left side and kept looking at his face, unable to speak. He didn't understand what was going on, and he definitely felt a bit shocked.
Jack stared down at his knees, in which he held Yusei's hands, refusing to let them go. "You remember the night we got engaged, right?"
"Jack, I told you that there's no need to feel embarrassed over that-"
"I'm not embarrassed." Jack said firmly. "Something... happened that night."
"... Well, no duh there..." Yusei said, furrowing his eyebrows in confusion.
"I don't mean in the sense of what we did. Something happened because of what we did." Jack responded.
Yusei, his eyes full of worry now, asked, "Jack, what's going on?"
'Jack,' Jack let what Mina said earlier run through his brain. 'Maybe the best thing would to be to just tell him.'
With a deep breath and a sigh, Jack forced himself to pick his head up and look Yusei in the eyes. His soft, worried gaze made Yusei believe what he needed to say had to be important, and that he wasn't kidding around. He knew when Jack was kidding around. It was almost always sensual.
"I'm pregnant, Yusei."
Yusei, silent for a short moment, widened his eyes and his breath hitched. He began to shake slightly and trying his best to keep eye-contact with Jack, he said, "Oh my God, Jack, oh my God... oh my GOD how could I have done that?"
"You're not helping!" Jack said, pulling his hands away from Yusei's and tangling them into the top of his hair.
"Jack, I... I-I-I-I..." Yusei said, crossing his arms. "I-I had no idea that - JESUS, the fucking condom must have broken! How could this have happened?"
"Contraceptives only work up to 99 percent of the time," Jack said, running his hands out of his hair and holding onto his knees. "Plus you and I have been using condoms and you've been taking birth control. We had the disatvantage on my part." Jack grasped onto his arms. "I never should have asked you to-"
"Jack, stop right there." Yusei responded. He lifted his head and looked at Jack. "Are... are you absolutely sure?"
"I have hidden emergency money I used to go down to the pharmacy this morning." Jack responded. "Three out of three, the most reliable test I could find. All of them turned blue, all of them positive."
"... Why didn't I catch on?..." Yusei asked.
"Well," Jack lifted his head up and rested his hands on his face. "You've been busy with work, and we've been caught up in the glory of planning the wedding for next year. And since we only did it that one time with me and you..." He covered his eyes with his hands. "Sometimes that's all it takes. One time and one broken condom."
Yusei, still keeping his gaze on Jack, spoke again. "I... I guess I always assumed that, given the way we are in our natural relationship, that I would... I would be the one to bear our kids some day..." He turned his head and stared off into the distance. "I... I think we should go to the doctor and get this found out for sure. Sometimes home pregnancy tests give off false results, and, we should be certain that we're facing what we think we're facing."
"I'm pretty sure I am..." Jack said. "Look at me. Coffee and ramen, two of my favorite things, have made me so nauseated I can't even smell them. And last week when we went out to dinner, that one sip of wine made my stomach churn." He then let his eyes drift down to his stomach again. "Not to mention I look and feel like I've put on a few pounds..."
"Let's just assume for now that you are." Yusei said. "It's better we do, better safe than sorry if you do anything you're not supposed to."
"Not supposed to?" Jack asked with a raised eyebrow at his fiance. "Like what?"
"Well, for one, you aren't supposed to ride a bike or a motorcycle when you're pregnant, so that rules out your D-Wheel by default." Yusei said. "No coffee, no alcohol, no pills, no standing in front of the microwave, no red dye, no diet soda... in fact I'd stray away from any caffeine at all costs."
"... So nothing fun and nothing yummy?" Jack asked.
"Only until we find out for sure if you are or aren't," Yusei said. "Jack, this is a baby. It's very small and very vulnerable. It eats and drinks, even feels what you do. Alcohol is a big no-no, and so is coffee."
"How do you even know this stuff?" Jack asked.
"I've read up on it," Yusei responded. "Because, like I said, I always assumed I would be the one to have the babies. I wanted to know what I'd be getting into, and what I should and shouldn't do."
Jack could feel a little tingle of warmth in his belly. His fiance was beginning to make him feel better already.
"First things first, we've got to get you healthy." Yusei said, picking up a paper pad and the pen Jack was playing with earlier. "We've gotta get you a doctor's appointment to confirm this and determine how far along you are-"
"It happened six weeks ago." Jack said. "It's not like we've been doing it like that forever. It's just been that one time so far..."
"Still need to go to the doctor." Yusei said. "We'll need to get you prenatal vitamins, which I've heard help deal with the morning sickness you've been dealing with, and also do great things to your fingernails. Next we'll need to get a copy of What To Expect When You're Expecting, find an apartment-"
"Find an apartment?" Jack raised an eyebrow. "Why can't we stay here?"
"Jack, we cannot raise a baby in this environment." Yusei responded. "It's filthy, riddled with grease and oil and grime, and the fumes from the garage can't be doing you any good. I cannot see any way we can raise a baby here. I'm certain Zora wouldn't allow us to either."
Jack rolled his eyes and sighed, but he had to nod in agreement.
"Hopefully since we know the date of conception we'll be given an accurate due date," Yusei went on. "We'll need to figure out where you'll deliver,"
"How about Crow?"
"Haha."
"Alright, no jokes yet..."
"We'll need to baby-proof the new place, set up a nursery..." Yusei paused in jotting everything down when Jack grasped his face and pulled him into a deep kiss. Yusei shut his eyes and opened them again when they pulled apart. With a soft blink, he saw as Jack smiled at him.
"Thank you, Yusei..." Jack whispered.
Yusei smiled. "That's what I'm here for."
To Be Continued...
Aaaaaand there we have it! The first chapter. :3
Sorry if it's not that that great. ^^; I did not want to dilly-dally around the subject of Jack, his preggerness, and him telling Yusei.
If there's one thing I don't like in a pregnancy-related chick-flick or just a chick-flick in general, it's when a girl is too unsure about an unplanned pregnancy to tell her spouse. And if they go through a separation period I don't like it either.
Comparing to Nine Months, sure it took Hugh Grant's character to get used to becoming a father, but of course when he was ready to jump into the role his girlfriend left him for a while. D:
But then look at My Big Fat Greek Wedding, there's no bullshit in there. The woman and man don't separate at all, there's no doubts or insecurities during the wedding planning, no, "The wedding's off," and then twenty minutes later, "The wedding is back on!"
For those of you who liked this, thank you for reading and I hope to hear a review from you! :D
Like I said I wanted this to be mostly straight-forward, hence why I didn't beat around the bush till chapter three to let Jack tell Yusei then. I could have done that but I wouldn't have been happy with that.
So next chappy should be up soon. :3 I'll probably be working mainly on this story for a while... it's gotten my ideas flowing again.
Anyways, I'll shut up now and leave you readers to review and wait for an update! :3 CONSTRUCTIVE criticism is accepted, but if you are snide, rude, or just plain bitchy or at all flamey, you will be blocked. Even a short "this sucks" for example will not keep me from blocking you.
So everybody BE NICE. :) So long as you are nice, I will be nice back. Okay?
